Recovery Guide

Mobility & Soft Tissue

Best Approach

Flexibility without strength is instability. Strength without mobility is a ticking clock. The best approach layers tools: a foam roller for broad tissue work, a lacrosse ball for trigger points, and a quality mat for daily mobility flows. Do 15 minutes a day and you'll move better than people half your age. Skip it and your joints will remind you eventually.
